I extend my gratitude to the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary for Mining for responding to our call and deploying officers to the Voi Gemstone Value Addition Centre, where they have been assisting miners with licensing challenges and related queries.
We have seen a good turnout at the Gemcentre, with miners continuing to receive the necessary support and guidance on compliance and licensing matters. We encourage those who have not yet taken this opportunity to do so while the exercise is still ongoing.

Through this approach, we continue to build trust, expand market opportunities, and strengthen the gemstone sector for our local miners.

Part of my duties is to go beyond our borders and look for opportunities that can uplift our miners back home.
I had the privilege of meeting Mr Russel Carhart, organiser of the Hart Gem Show in New York, USA. We discussed how we can create international linkages......
Every gemstone tells a story of resilience, beauty and value waiting to be unlocked. At the Voi Gemstone Centre we believe in not just polishing stones but also creating opportunities that shine.
From day one, Righa has shown that leadership is about action, not titles.
He’s meeting both local & foreign investors (🇨🇭 Switzerland, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇨🇳 China, 🇦🇪 Dubai, 🇺🇸 US, etc.) to position Voi as East Africa’s gemstone hub. 🌍
